MIA Art Collection, private art collection founded by philanthropist Alejandra Castro Rioseco launched its virtual museum on 2020 called MIA Anywhere, where it has showcased the work of more than 100 women artists from all over the world during the pandemic. Now, we present its second collaboration with BLOC Art Perú, a collection of Latin American Art founded by Brenda Ortiz Clarke.

The MIA Art Collection, whose founder and director is the civil engineer, philanthropist and patron Alejandra Castro Rioseco has organized a series of activities that can be enjoyed in the week ARCO in Madrid, complementing it with participation in the contemporary art fair JUSTMAD and in Matadero Madrid Centro de Creación Contemporánea.

MIA Art Collection presents its new virtual exhibition within its MIA Anywhere Virtual Museum, “La contemplación femenina”, exhibiting for everyone the oil work of the Chilean painter Christel Vega Miranda.

The reflection of the feminine interior life, and the activity of contemplative critical thought of human existence is what best defines and reflects the pictorial work of Christel Vega Miranda.

#PorQueNoMeVes is a project to expand and make visible art made by women organized by MIA ART COLLECTION, led by its Founder and Director, Alejandra Castro Rioseco, in collaboration with ARTEINFORMADO @arteinformado . More than 300 women of 23 nationalities responded to the online appeal and, for this March 8, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, we have selected 15 of them for this curatorial piece that is available now for you to see inside our MIA AnyWhere Virtual Museum.

During February 11 and 24, 2021, any female artist in the world, directly or through her gallery, was invited to participate for free with one of her works in #PorqueNoMeVes by MIA ART COLLECTION. The hashtag of the call presents a double reading: On the one hand, it works as a questioning or questioning of the invisibility of women in art and, at the same time, it acts as an exhortation or appeal to see the work of this women creators.

The call has brought together the work of more than 300 women from 23 countries (United States, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, United Kingdom, Holland, Germany, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain). Now, on the occasion of the International Women’s Day, we publish this curatorial piece with a selection of 15 of them, curated by Natalia Alonso Arduengo @natalia_alar

The exhibition is available NOW at the MIA Anywhere Virtual Museum, strongly committed to collecting and making the work of women artists visible and which currently brings together more than 1,000 works. During these days, we will present you the work of these women, but you can now go to miaanywhere.com as well as arteinformado.com to see this incredible collaboration.

Every work of art demands from us thought, imagination, affection, challenging the viewer with different levels of demands.
